Parents say school run is most stressful part of their day

From parking fines, to mounting the kerb, forgetting homework or being scolded by teachers for missing the school bell, it’s no surprise that parents feel a sense of dread when they think about the school run.

New research has revealed just how stressful parents find the daily journey, with 31% confessing it’s the most stressful part of their entire day and more than a quarter (26%) saying they find the school run as stressful - if not a more stressful experience - as buying a house.
